(a)
Interpretation:
The reason behind not forming any amide produts by the reaction of acetic acid with ammonia in water has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Acid- base neutralization reaction: it is a double displacement reaction in which an acid and a base react to form an ionic compound (salt) and water.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason behind decreasing of
Concept introduction:
The value
If the value of
Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is cleaved into two parts by the addition of a molecule of water. If the reaction is carried out with the help of an acid it is said to be an acid catalysed hydrolysis.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason behind the fact that the hydrolysis of an amide at neutral
Concept introduction:
Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves the chemical compound with pair of electrons in a heterolytic bond cleavage. The
Amide is an organic compound in which a carbonyl group
The normal reaction of an amide with water does not give good yield of product. As amides are least reactive

- (a) Compound Z is a tertiary aromatic amine with the formula, C8H11N. Provide a chemical structure for compound Z. (b)nDraw the structure of the product formed exclusively when nitrous acid reacts with Z.arrow_forwardb) Compounds in which the –OH of the carboxyl group is replaced by certain other groups are called carboxylic acid derivatives. The most important of which are acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters and amides. Discuss the relationship between carboxylic acid, acid chloride and acid anhydridearrow_forwardCompounds like amphetamine that contain nitrogen atoms are protonated by the HCl in the gastric juices of the stomach, and the resulting salt is then deprotonated in the basic environment of the intestines to regenerate the neutral form. Write proton transfer reactions for both of these processes.arrow_forward
- When the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forwardBecause amines are basic, they can often accept a proton. Draw the protonated structure of n-propylamine.arrow_forwardBisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.arrow_forward
- Describe the sources of alkaloids, name some examples, and tell how their properties are typical of amines.arrow_forwardIf you attempted to make soap from butanoic acid by forming sodium butanoate, would your preparation have the properties to act as an emulsifying agent (soap)?arrow_forwardDraw and name compounds that meet these descriptions:(a) Three different amides with the formula C5H11NO(b) Three different esters with the formula C6H12O2arrow_forward
- N-Methylpyrrolidine has a boiling point of 81 °C, and piperidine has a boiling point of 106 °C. Tetrahydropyran has a boiling point of 88 °C, and cyclopentanone has a boiling point of 141 °C. These two isomershave a boiling point difference of 53 °C. Explain why the two oxygen-containing isomers have a much larger boilingpoint difference than the two amine isomersarrow_forwardAmphetamine is a powerful stimulant of the central nervous system.Draw the products formed (and show the flow of electrons) from the acid-base reaction of amphetamine with (a) HCl and with (b) NaH.arrow_forwardDescribe concisely a chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds.(a) Propanal and propanone(b) Phenol and benzoic acid(c) Hexan-3-one and hexan-2-onearrow_forward
